WELT: Now, when I call you “Your Majesty,” does that snub your modesty or flatter your ego?
Yannick Noah: You have to see that in the right context. If that’s what they call me here in Vevey, then I’m going to find you pretty strange. Either I start laughing or I think you know me from my other life. When I’m in Cameroon, I’m the nkukuma, the village chief, the one people respect – in French it’s majesté. And that’s what they call me there. But if you call me “Majesté” here, then I think you’re crazy.
